Horse Judging Pace

More From Michel De Montaigne

There is a story in zen circles about a man and a horse. the horse is galloping quickly, and it appears that the man on the horse is going somewhere important. another man standing alongside the road, shouts, «where are you going?» and the first man replies, «i don't know! ask the horse!» this is also our story. we are riding a horse, and we don't know where we are going and we can't stop. the horse is our habit energy pulling us along, and we are powerless.

He’s sort of a homeless horse,” i said. “i’m leaving for the airport in two seconds, and i won’t be back for a couple days. you can put the horse in the garage, but i don’t want that horse in my apartment.” “who would put a horse in an apartment? that’s dumb.” “where’s the horse staying now?” “my apartment.” “i can always count on you to brighten my day,” ranger said. and he disconnected.

How the horse dominated the mind of the early races especially of the mediterranean! you were a lord if you had a horse. far back, far back in our dark soul the horse prances...the horse, the horse! the symbol of surging potency and power of movement, of action in man!
Horse Dark Men
Nay, do not grieve tho' life be full of sadness, dawn will not veil her spleandor for your grief, nor spring deny their bright, appointed beauty to lotus blossom and ashoka leaf. nay, do not pine, tho' life be dark with trouble, time will not pause or tarry on his way; to-day that seems so long, so strange, so bitter, will soon be some forgotten yesterday. nay, do not weep; new hopes, new dreams, new faces, the unspent joy of all the unborn years, will prove your heart a traitor to its sorrow, and make your eyes unfaithful to their tears.
Life Dream Spring
We gallop through our lives like circus performers balancing on two speeding side-by-side horses--one foot is on the horse called "fate," the other on the horse called "free will." and the question you have to ask every day is--which horse is which? which horse do i need to stop worrying about because it's not under my control, and which do i need to steer with concentrated effort?
Horse Fate Two
This one isn’t just any old horse. there’s a nobility in his eye, a regal serenity about him. does he not personify all that men try to be and never can be? i tell you, my friend, there’s divinity in a horse, and specially in a horse like this. god got it right the day he created them. and to find a horse like this in the middle of this filthy abomination of a war, is for me like finding a butterfly on a dung heap. we don’t belong in the same universe as a creature like this.

Ranger’s gonna hate this,” tank said. “better to get shot than to have to explain the gate. bad enough i got a horse that smells like his shower gel.
Horse Hate Smell
Pride can go without domestics, without fine clothes, can live in a house with two rooms, can eat potato, purslain, beans, lyed corn, can work on the soil, can travel afoot, can talk with poor men, or sit silent well contented with fine saloons. but vanity costs money, labor, horses, men, women, health and peace, and is still nothing at last; a long way leading nowhere.--only one drawback; proud people are intolerably selfish, and the vain are gentle and giving.
Horse Selfish Pride
Four sits down on the edge of the carousel, leaning against a plastic horse's foot. his eyes lift to the sky, where there are no stars, only a round moon peking through a thin layer of clouds. the muscles in his arms are relaxed; his hand rests on the back of his neck. he looks almost comfortable, holding that gun to his shoulder. i close my eyes briefly. why does he distract me so easily? i need to focus.
